Taboadella

The Amorim family have been involved in wine since 1870, when they first negotiated sales of cork to the Caves do Vinho do Porto, in Vila Nova de Gaia. Today they are one of the most renowned family groups in Portugal with businesses in many countries and with many different lines of activity.


Since 1999, the fourth generation of the family is now involved in wine through the  hands of Luisa Amorim, working in renowned Quintas where wines and vineyards have ancestral roots of cultural importance in the Douro, at Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo and now in the Dão, at the Taboadella estate, creating wines of extraordinary quality, with a sense of place.


Taboadella consists of 40 hectares of vineyards lying between Vale do Pereiro and the Vale do Sequeira, in a high triangular plateau of 400 - 530 m altitude, with gentle slopes towards the Southeast, and a sunny exposition to the south and west. The mountain chains protect the vineyard from the Atlantic weather and the bitter winds from Spain, resulting in a microclimate perfectly located where maritime and continental influences meet. The autumn equinox brings a marked change to the weather, and generally, there are heavy rains and sometimes frost to greet the end of Spring.


The vineyards are not irrigated, maintaining traditional qualities and typicity in the 18 parcels in an ‘integrated’ system, characterized by a planting density of 3500 plants per hectare and a median production of 4000 kg per hectare. In the 1980s the vineyard was partially replanted, with Tinta Roriz and Encruzado, Cereal-Branco and Borrado das Moscas (Bical) being introduced. Today the average age of the vines is 30 years, but we still have some that are more than 100!


Taboadella has also been awarded Building of the Year for the winery's beautiful architectural design.

The Villae are blended unoaked wines that highlight the character of the Taboadella grape variety. Intense, they are delicately scented, lighter, with soft tannins and refreshing acidity.

RESERVA

The Monovarietais Reserva (single variety reserve wines) are the result of a selection of plots that during the growing season have always been highly balanced, thereby making it possible to obtain unique and highly personalised wines, some rather proud and even haughty; but all of which unequivocally reveal their origin.

GRANDE VILLAE

GRANDE VILLAE

Grande Villae of Taboadella is one of the elements that has been handed down over generations, through community life, a waning and harsh agriculture, the roughness of the passage of time and the simplicity of life. Each sip makes us recall the aromas from former times and each gulp reveals the texture, verticality and strength of this place in the Dão region. Grande Villae wines have a rare classic structure - a reference to Taboadella’s Roman era, a tribute to its ancestry.

ABOUT 

Encruzado, also known as Salgueirinho, is an endemic grape variety from the Dão region. Cultivated in the sheltered highlands of Taboadella’s vineyard, in granites that have metamorphosed over hundreds of thousands of years, this lot of wines shares the special care taken with the Encruzado grape variety. The delicate cultivation of the Encruzado vines requires increased attention during the growing season, delivering tremendous rewards. 


TASTING NOTES 

The wine is firm and exuberant, with a silky texture, linear structure, and notable depth. It is a wine of the present and future.

TASTING NOTES 

Jaen is one of the estate’s treasures, offering the delight of fruity and intense aromas, combined with allspice, placing this grape variety in another dimension. The wine’s beautiful structure, supported by soft, fine and coated tannins, is perfectly combined with its tense and delicate body.

ABOUT 

Touriga Nacional is the international icon of Portuguese grape varieties. It originated in the region where it finds its greatest expression - the Dão. At Taboadella it is grown close to the ground and sparkles in the sunlight - a great example of its natural acidity in this exceptional terroir. 


TASTING NOTES 

This wine allows us to detect violets, whose aroma lingers in our memory. Offering surprising complexity, it carries notes of high altitude, black spice, and the quartzitic aroma of wet granite.

ABOUT 

The Grande Villae red is a heritage wine, with a strong and generous personality, which reveals the riches of the Taboadella estate - which has always produced red wines with complex intensity and very elegant structure. It is also a wine of the future, that surprises us through its energy, amplified by its notable minerality and where we sense the call of the terroir with each gulp - the pure expression of granite, and the persistence and subtle elegance of the grape varieties cultivated in the highlands, which respect the memory of the land!

Dão, Portugal

Surrounded by mountains in all directions, based on very poor granite soils, the Dão region extends its vineyards scattered among pine forests at different altitudes, from 1,000 metres in the Serra da Estrela to 200 metres in the lower areas. The vineyards are sparse and discontinuous, divided into multiple plots, with properties with almost insignificant average areas. The mountains determine and condition the region's climate, sheltering the vines from the direct influence of the continental climate and the maritime influence. The poor soils are mostly granite.
